The Better Half is a new Lucky Plush Productions
dance-theater work co-created by Julia Rhoads (Artistic Director of Lucky
Plush) and Leslie Buxbaum Danzig (co-founder of 500 Clown) in collaboration
with the ensemble, featuring Rhoads, Adrian Danzig, Kim Goldman, Tim Heck and
Meghann Wilkinson. The production includes Composer/Sound Designer
Mikhail Fiksel, Lighting Designer Heather Gilbert, and Stage Manager Clare
Roche. The full production premieres at the MCA October 27 - November 6,
2011.

This highly anticipated collaboration is a contemporary
spin-off of the psychological thriller Gaslight, the classic melodrama in which
a woman is manipulated by her husband into believing she is insane while he
searches for a treasure related to a murder he committed years
earlier. Rather than adhering strictly to the source narrative, layers of
fiction and reality accumulate in The Better Half revealing the elusive
boundaries between self and character, actual and scripted relationships, life
versus borrowed plotlines.
